Favorite planet in the Solar System?

Saturn is perfect with these rings

They all suck. What kind of shit tier solar system only has ONE tiny planet in the goldilocks zone? If we had a brown dwarf in Earth's orbit then it could have dozens of "moons" each about the size of Earth.

Some day, when we stop being a cuck species, we will push Venus out past Earth, smash Mars into it to reliquefy the core (for a magnetic field), throw in whichever gas giant moon has the most water, and add Mercury as a moon just for shits.

After all that work we will still only have TWO goldilocks planets. meh

Kinda hard to send objects to Mercury when the planet is so bloody fast and close to the sun (heat and gravity). It's highly eccentric orbit doesn't make things any easier.

Reeeeee

Gas giants are a weird and a bit unnerving. I try to imagine flying a some kind of craft into the atmosphere and I just can't imagine it. They say the deeper you go the higher the pressure and the gas smoothly transforms into a liquid. I can't wrap my head around this. There is no equivalent phenomena on Earth. Everywhere on Earth there is a sharp boundary between gas and liquid. Best analogy I can come up with is you are sitting in a room with the humidity gradually being cranked up until you are literally underwater. Only difference is rather than a gas gradually transitioning to liquid with altitude it's occurring over time instead.

Imagine plunging into the storms on an planet and falling for a bit and rather than passing out from the lowest cloud layer and seeing the surface you literally go from being in the cloud to being under[insert liquid here]. It's weird as fuck.

There are many "everyday" and laboratory analogies.
Look for videos of supercritical CO2, for example.
On a less extreme case, things like propane are frequently transported/stored in a liquefied state at ambient temperature. Its boiling temperature is about -40 °C. What you do is cool it down to make it liquid, and put it in a pressurised vessel. The pressure generated by the boiling liquid will eventually make it "stable" at room temperature, leaving a substantial part of the propane in liquid state. (Convenient for storing a larger mass of it)

Well there is BepiColombo which is scheduled to launch late this year so that will make 3 :)

Earth, a planet is meaningless without life.

earth.

pluto

It's not the concept of a gas being liquefied I find strange rather it's the idea of a smooth transition from gas to liquid over distance. On Earth there is a clear divide between atmosphere and ocean. On a gas giant there is no such divide. Your atmosphere just blends into your ocean becoming more ocean-like and less atmosphere-like the deeper you get into the planet.

Best planet despite the niggers, jews and muslims

meant for

Haumea - just because of its funny shape.

Pluto master race. Debate me post 2006 "astronomers".
Ayy lmao

Pluto because it's basically a meme.

I doubt it is really "smooth". There is probably a sort of very turbulent "boundary" where the gases are unstably changing phase, probably in a violent and energetic way. That is how I imagine it at least. Many gases do not even go through a strictly liquid state, but will rather be supercritical.
Look for the supercrit CO2 in youtube. Cody's Lab and Applied Science have videos showing it.

how do you mine it if it has no surface?
